I always liked him. Seemed like a good guy.

A great American leader and educator who by his enthusiastic example inspired millions to stay active and healthy through simple exercise, nutrition, and a positive outlook on life.

A regular viewer of The Jack Lalanne Show as a youngster, I still remember the impression this episode had on me:[video=youtube;NEboAJf9UVc]

Then why do you trash people so often? You're one of the most negative and hateful people I've ever read.

Weird, Maris, really weird.

I am not and I despise you for saying so.

You mistake my realism and anger for negativism and hate. Completely different animals.

I am the most optimistic person I've ever met, maybe the most optimistic person in the world, although I hold out hope that I'm not. My favorite players are always the underdogs and the scapegoats. I give support where it's needed most. I live by The Golden Rule. In comparison to the vast majority of human beings alive, I feel enormously blessed and live a life of explosive happiness and gratitude.

When the weak or uneducated are preyed upon by the more fortunate, when wars are waged for money and power, when leaders lie to those who trust them to lead, I do get angry. Very angry.

But in a "let's learn from this evil and make the world a better place" kind of anger.

Huh? You must perceive him that way because you disagree with him. I perceive lots of humor in Maris' posts. Maybe it's like when I read that Rush Limbaugh is supposed to be funny and I have never heard him say anything funny. If you disagree with someone, you take them seriously. Look at Maris from a different angle sometime and you'll see there's a lot of humor there. (Also, some of his stuff is a put-on.)

Authority is something to be fought. Try it sometime.

He was 60 years old when he did that ^

REST IN PEACE?

What do you mean, REST? Rest is a four letter word!

All you angels sitting around listening to celestial music eating angel food cake and ambrosia, get off your fat angel asses and do some pushups!

See, this is the kind of funny many of us would like to see more of from you. Well done and repped!
